The Men Ordered Out Yesterday Decline
to Join the Army of Idlers.
New YORK, February 11th.-The order
calling on the engineers employed on the
steamships and railroad piers to go on
strike, so far as the piers of the river fronts
are concerned, has proven dead letter. A
visit to the docks this morning failed to
discover single instance where the sta
tionary engineers had quit work. A visit
to the breweries showed that all of the en-
ployes were at work, and the men stated
that they have positively refused to obey
orders to stop work and join the army OF
strikers.
The eccentric engineers refused point
blank to obey the order of the District As
sembly of Knights of Labor. At the head
quarters of the Assembly this morning the
reports of the delegates who have been
sent to see what steps tie engineers were
taking in the matter of obeying the order.
reported that the men refused to quit work.
Reports from different breweries were
equally discouraging, and it was generally
admitted that the last effort of No. 49 had
proven failure. A number of 'longshore-
men stood around the headquarters, and
several of them openly declared that they
would go to work unless more financial aid
from their Union was granted them. A
similar opinion was expressed by other
men, and it would not be surprising if
there was a general break in the ranks of
the strikers at any moment.
FREIGHT HANDLERS WEAKENING.
The freight-handlers formerly employed
on the New York and Northern Railway
Yesterday sent delegate to Agent Allen to
ask the foreman 10 take back the strikers
without execution. He replied that, as the
Union men had struck work without CIV
ing warning, they could not come back.
All the new men have been promised per-
manent situations, and were giving salts
faction.
At the Maine line dock, all of the strikers
have returned. At the Mallory line dock,
the Superintendent will have none of the
strikers, the new men taking their places
giving satisfaction.
THE STREET CAR STRIKE AT BOSTON.
Bosrov, February 11th.-At 0 O'Clock this
morning the South Boston Horse Railroad
Company started out the first car that has
been run over the road since the strike be-
gan. Other cars have been sent out since.
In every case they had four, and some OF
them six policemen aboard. Crowds OF
hoodlums along the road greeted each car
with wells, and hurled sticks and stones
and mud at the windows. Serious trouble
is expected in South Boston if the cars are
run tonight.
THE GREAT STRIKE DECLARED AT AN END.
New YORK, February 12th-A. M.-The
World saws The Executive Board of Dis
trict Assembly 40 last night declared the
